Inconsistency

TAMPA -- It was Jammal Brown, the Pro Bowl and All-Pro left tackle, who made the huge holding penalty, 10 yards, which pushed the Saints back to a second-and-20. But it was also Brown who made the huge block on third down to give quarterback Drew Brees enough time to complete the long pass to Lance Moore setting up a fourth-and-1, which Reggie Bush turned into a first down. But the Saints just punted, again.

Moore has played a little more today, with David Patten and Devery Henderson playing inconsistently today. Henderson has two drops so far. Earlier, on a key third-and-8 from their 28, and he's on the bench. And the Saints didn't even have anyone in the backfield. Quarterback Drew Brees made a beautiful dart to Marques Colston for a first down. Later, Brees looked for Henderson in the end zone, but the receiver was smothered an couldn't get his outstretched hands on the ball. Then, No-lindo Mare missed another field goal attempt.
